The Laurels vs Polaroids of Laurieroids: Hardy and Loudly

On a graph of Loud vs Lazy, Sydney's The Laurels are so far right they might as well rename themselves The Freddy Niles. But it's this total disrespect for ear-drums and release schedules that makes The Laurels so bloody great. Heavily baked, but with the sufficient energy resources to drive a billion guitars right into your pathetic little skull. Their long overdue debut EP — released earlier in the year — matched their notoriously blood-burning live show, in both volume and sheer genital-thrusting determination.

We recently sat down with the band (at a fairly noisy pub) to talk to them about their influences, debut album plans and their perceptions of the current Sydney music scene. In-between the shit shootin' we slotted in some semi-relevant music.
